I cannot copy mp4 video files to my iPod video

I am having a problem with my 6-month old (6 months since I bought it) iPod Video. Before, I was using iTunes 6.0.0.18 (earlier relase of iTunes), which was installed from the CD included in my iPod. I didn't have a problem except that that version of iTunes does not have video conversion functionality to formats that iPod supports (to .m4v format) so I decided to upgrade to the latest version of iTunes (v6.0.5.20) to achieve this. When I upgraded, it created a new problem - for some reason that I don't know, I can no longer drag .mp4 files to my iPod. Everytime I drag a .mp4 video to my iPod, I'm getting an error message - "Some songs in the iTunes music library, including the song "xxxx", were not copied to iPod "xxxx" because they cannot be played on this iPod.". Can you help with that? Thanks

That error is saying that the format can not be read on your iPod.I get this message when adding my video's to iTunes. So you need to convert them here are converters

Any idea's?

Cannot copy .mov & .mpeg files to iPod 80

Hello
I have just bought an iPod Video 80 gb.
I have some .mov & .mpeg files on my iTunes library. But when I try to copy those files to my iPod, a message appears:
"filename" was not copied to the ipod "My iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.
So I cannot copy those files to iPod. But I can copy .mp4 videos to iPod without any problem.
Why is this happening? How can I copy .mov & .mpeg files to my iPod?
I am using the latest iTunes, 7.0.2.16. Also my iPod has the latest software, 1.2.1.
Thanks

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

[SOLVED]Cannot copy/cut/paste files in Konqueror

Hi all, I am using KDE4.1.2 (official version). My konqueror cannot copy/cut/paste files in 'file manager' mode, the copy/cut/paste items in the right click menu are always faded out, and C-x/C-c/C-v hotkeys do not work either. However, it can read/write/rename/delete files normally. In fact, 'Move to' and 'Copy to' menu works too. Meanwhile, dolphin does not have this problem. I am a little confused.:mad:

Hello,
I'm using kdemod, konqueror 4.1.4 in i686, and the paste is always greyed out (same happens with the button in the taskbar). The "copy" action seems to be enabled through ctrl-c and the right-click, but there is no way to say, because no paste can be done. Deleting files works, so it does not seem to be related to permissions.
Regarding the post
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57749
I installed konq-plugins, but it did not help. The paste is also greyed out in dolphin.
I wonder if anyone is having this same issue? I thought this was solved in 4.1.3
Thanks!

Cannot copy necessary linked file ERROR. HELP ME!! I can't make a package

Cannot copy necessary linked file ERROR. HELP ME!! I can't make a package

What have you tried? Often, this happens when a linked file is open...perhaps at the hands of another user across a network where you can't see. If that's not the case, and you're sure you don't have it open, it's still possible your system just thinks it's open. Reboot the computer and try again.

"cannot copy necessary linked files" when trying to package files

I am trying to package files for a customer and I get the message "cannot copy necessary linked files". Nothing shows as missing or any errors. Anyone else encountered this?

It's REALLY annoying that this hasn't been fixed...
In Sweden we use a lot of å, ä, ö. And it's never a problem to name files with these characteres (and yes, I use an Apple computer).
Before you could always copy all the files without any problems, but these days you need to rename them.
Which can a totall nightmare if you have a file with hundreds of pictures... then you need to go through the whole list of links, carefully change all the names and then update them every single picture one by one.
Which means hours of totally meaningless work.

Problème avec Indesign CC, je n'arrive pas à faire un PACKAGE complet, Message : cannot copy necessary linked files(s). Pourtant les liens sont bien mis à jour dans le document. Je n'ai jamais eu de problèmes avec mon ancienne version CS.

Pouvez-vous m'aider?

C’est justement ce que j’étais entrain de faire, revérifier tous les noms. Ça m’encourage si c’est ce que vous me suggérez aussi.

What video file format does ipod touch except

what video file format does ipod touch except?

For the 4G:
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Is a copy of .xml file on the iPod too? If so, how can I copy ONLY the .xml file to my computer and NOT have to copy all my music files too?

I had to re-load my OS (Windows XP Pro) from a HD snapshot via Acronis True Image Server. I save my OS on my C: drive and all my data files on my D: drive. So when I re-loaded my OS, I still have all of my music files intact.
I have re-loaded the OS before and had to re-create iTunes library which I did by doing the follwing:
1. cut & paste .xml file in iTunes folder to desktop
2. delete .itl file in iTunes folder
3. import .xml file through iTunes file>library>iport playlist
4. navigate to .xml file on desktop and import
This worked last time I re-loaded my OS but not this time for some reason.
So I'm wondering if there is a copy of the .xml file on the iPod itself in the iPod_Control folder that I can copy and paste to my comuter desktop and import via the above steps?
I have seen all kinds of solutions on the web that include copying the music files from the iPod to the computer. I don't need to do that. I have the music files. I just need the .xml file so iTunes can talk to my iPod (5th Generation - 30G).

Backup your music library, that is the only way to ensure it does not go missing through theft, damage, operator error, machine breaks, upgrades go wrong, operator goes wrong .........

Getting video files to your iPod

Q. How do I get video files to my iPod?
A. First of all for DVD's and the like, you'll need a video capture device(a.k.a. a video card that usually comes with a program that allows you to record video from a number of sources).
Once you've recorded your file which might not be Mpeg-4 or H.264 but will probably be AVI or WMV, what I recommend at this point is the iPod video converter from Xilisoft. this powerful little tool will enable you to open just about any file(WMV,MPEG,AVI...and so on) and convert it to and iPod compatible format. The plus of this program compared to others is not only can you download a trial version, but you get five full minutes of recording without any watermarks(basically print over your new recording that usually says "trial version" or something that can only be removed by purchasing the full version of the product.)
Third, for editing this is where you can put the 40 bucks you spent on quicktime pro to some use. Now you should be able to open your file in Quicktime without any problems and edit your video for final viewing. (That's if you need to of course. Some video capturing devices don't allow you to do editing.)
Lastly, if you can't be bothered with all this editing stuff, drop your new video file into your iPod in iTunes, right click the file once iPod is updated, select "get info". One of the tabs should allow you to input the point or time you want the file to start playing.

They first need to be in iTunes. Find them on the music store under podcasts.
Once they are there, connect the iPod and go to edit-->preferences in iTunes. Clcik the iPod tab. Then click the videos tab. Make sure update all videos is selected. Then click the podcasts tab under the iPod and make sure that update all podcasts is selected. Click OK.
If they are not in the right format, then right click an epsidoe and go to convert selection for iPod. You can highlight multiple episodes and convert them at once.

Windows users cannot copy or move files

I have several windows users that cannot copy a file on the server and paste it somewhere else on the server or to their hard drive. The same user can log into a mac and do what they want to do. Any help?
Here is the error message. "Cannot copy file_name: the specified network name is no longer available".
Rich

Let me clarify. They can log in to the server FROM a mac and copy the files where they need them. I think this rules out a permissions issue. Usually the file transfer goes about half way before it errors out. Sometimes the files actually do copy and paste to the new location but the error message still comes up.
